Stuff About Me 

Since this is my first blog post, I thought I'd spend some time introducing myself. I grew up in Sacramento, California. I've lived in Missouri, Utah and Illinois. I went to Sacramento City College for what seemed like forever until I finally graduated with an Associate's in Social and Behavioral Sciences. I finished my Bachelor's degree at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah in Communication Studies. I love to write, but that doesn't mean I'm good at it. I just always seem to have a lot to say.

I'm married to my best friend and super hot smart guy, Jake. We have three adorable children who will be the subjects of much blogging, I'm sure. And can I just say what a strange word "blog" is? It's like somebody burped while trying to think of a word to describe lengthy internet writing. Also, I'm silly. 

Things I don't like:

When the refrigerator door closes on me repeatedly
Skinny jeans on any guy...ever
People talking to me from a different room
Turtlenecks...they're called that for a reason
Other drivers on the road
Tripping on somebody's shoes
Realizing those shoes were mine
Spiders
When there's a hair on the back of my elbow that I can't see and can't get rid of 
Cancer
When the garbage can is so full that trash just bounces off the top
Long sleeves, they bug me
Speeding tickets

Things I like:

God
Being right
A good book (preferably YA/Sci-Fi, Fantasy)
Proper grammar
My kids
Food...all of it
Swimming
Learning something new
Talking...a lot 
Green Smoothies
Supporting small farms and organic produce
Babies...when they sleep through the night
Friends who help me feel included
Speeding
